Fodor's Expert Review William's Town Beach

When the tide is high, this 1.9-mile slice of relatively hidden beach (from East Sunrise Highway, take Coral Road south, turn right onto Bahama Reef Boulevard, then left on Beachway Drive) can get a little narrow, but there's a wide area at its east end on Silver Point Beach near Island Seas Resort. Just west of here, a sidewalk runs the length of the beach along the road, and at low tide the beach expands far and wide for easy walking on the shore. Island Seas Resort has its own modern interpretation of the local beach shack, called Coconuts. Amenities: food and drink; parking (no fee); water sports. Best for: solitude; swimming; walking.
